I thought this was going to be something interesting until I hit the "Environmental Consequences" part. I mean, really? We have environmental problems as a result on agriculture and manufacturing and transportation and construction and literally any other industry, and you're going to complain about the cost of running some servers? We are orders of magnitude away in impact. Actually, I suspect its even worse - the more computing power we make available to those industries, the more efficient they become. Please, tell me how making digital designs is environmentally worse than physical prototypes, or simulations are less power efficient than real-world tests, or data-driven irrigation is more wasteful than spraying water into the air for hours.
